Security Flaw Found In Trillian IM Client
The popular Trillian instant-messaging client contains a security flaw that could allow a hacker to gain control of a person’s computer, a software company said Friday.
To take advantage of the vulnerability, the hacker would have to use an advanced technique called DNS cache poisoning, which redirects PC users from real sites to spoofed copies, said Matt Hargett, director of development for Pittspurgh, Pa.-based, LogicLibrary Inc. The tactic involves a hacker first compromising a DNS server, which is used on the web to direct computers to websites.
